Digital Sex is a 6 part television series commissioned by Channel 4 shown and repeated on Friday and Saturday nights at midnight. The series was created, written, directed and presented by Amory Peart (Erotic Awards winner, Butt Buddies -1997) to show the variety of non-orthodox ways that we can have sex. It demonstrates these ways by showing regular people demonstrating their sexual preferences in a non-judgemental style to over 1.2 million people every week. It is soon available on video. The new series begins production in September so if you would like to contribute please email Amory at amoryxxx@hotmail.com. Here is some more information about the series:
Digital Sex is about how we can create a variety of sexual lives by tapping in to new technological, scientific and social developments. The series looks to uncover and clarify sex/gender subversion and underground sub-cultures that have re-invented sexual interaction, particularly prevalent in Queer society. Our current sex lives demand and crave constant change and new techniques of arousal. The series shows that our sex lives are now non-linear and this new diversity of sexual opportunities allows us comprehensive "digital" sexual lives.
Digital Sex sheds new light on advancements in sexual subject matters that are often ignored and rarely deconstructed. Our impulse-driven demands have diversified and intensified as our needs drift away from regular genital to genital contact. We now invent new sexual stimuli or groupings that often go unacknowledged by the mainstream.
The series is a trip from the more recognised sexual practices to the outer edges of the sex world. Within each film we will run from the mainstream to the less known.
Each themed film is approached in an educated but accessible, lively, but non-sensational approach, by including a mix of sexy explicit visuals and demonstrations, first-hand documentary interviews and expert academic theories.
Sex toys offer readily available and immediately accessible ways for sexual arousal or masturbation. They can replace genital to genital contact and introduce new life in tired relationships. As they have become part of the mainstream, the outer edges of toy design are becoming more personalised for specific use. Digital Sex goes on a journey from the dildo to the cybersex suit.
Only recently have toys been developed and marketed for the general public. Both men and women use a diversity of sex toys such as dildos, vibrators, butt plugs and latex genital copies.
Carol Queen explains the delights of masturbation
We investigate and watch the use of cyberdildonics - a technology that enables the user to have their sex toys activated by another person linked to a computer who could be living in a different country. Are they the future of our ever-disposable relationships and reliance on technology? Or are they a fabulous new way to have sexual contact? How do they stimulate us? Are they just a techno con?
Alexis Arquette demonstarates auto-fellatio, how can we all do it?
The REAL DOLLS are 5,000 dollar dolls that can be a companion for life and never answer back!
We explore the use of cybersuits - full-body suits filled with pressure sensors and impulse devices that can be activated by another person through a self-programmed DVD. Will this sexual technique be the new condom for the 21st century? How does it stimulate us?
The developments of technology and a loosening in morals have offered us more opportunities to move away from monogamy or have offered alternatives to monogamy without emotional or human penetration.
The simplest way to have anonymous sex is in dark rooms at clubs or at sex parties/orgies. We meet people who enjoy faceless sex. What is it that appeals? Do they go as couples? How do they feel afterwards?
Gay men meet for sex in all sorts of open-air environments such as toilets, parks & the street, it allows them to have multi-partnered sex without emotional intimacy.
Telephone sex lines offer virtual anonymity. We discuss with Nick (33) why he prefers to use phone sex rather than other kinds of sexual encounters, what he talks about during the sex, what he fictionalises and what he doesnét. He tells us his favourite telephone sex stories. Does he ever meet up with the other caller? Are the phone lines purely for masturbation? Or has he found romance?
The Internet offers many varied ways of sexual arousal and generally ends with masturbation. Text-based communication in chat rooms or the use of web cams offer a variety of arousal opportunities that give truly anonymous sex.
We interview an internet user. How does he approach a one to one or group sex on-line chat? He explains the technique and variety offered in chat rooms and how he uses the chat room. Does he fictionalise himself and hide his true identity, sexuality or gender? Does the chat end in masturbation or does he meet up person to person and how has that worked out? Do web cams increase the pleasure?
Societyés acceptance and the loosening of laws towards homosexuals have enabled gay men to come out from the shadows and invent dress codes that are based on exaggerated masculinity and sex appeal. They dress and group themselves in tribes so they can have as much sex as possible.
Frank enjoys going to rubber clubs and explains what happens when he goes out in his rubber suit for the night.
Soccer has always been regarded as a "real mans" sport therefore, gay men & lesbians idolise the players and sexualise the uniforms.
We talk to a gay teenage football fanatic from London who dresses head to foot in sportswear. His bedroom is full of football memorabilia and his life revolves around his visit to the match on Saturday. He explains which players turn him on and what he looks for in the uniform, how he has changed from his previous look and how important his image is sexually? Do potential sexual partners need to be football fans and what are his criteria for selecting partners in strip? Who are his favourite players and whom is he most attracted to?
We visit the sex club Shoot! Here the dress code is full football strip only.
Deborough fullfills her fantasies through emailing her lover, discussing the role play without meeting in person before he comes around to have safe sm sex.
Ian enjoys role playing on the internet. Dressed as a man he is a cross dresser who shows him his picture of sarah Lee, his drag persona, then they often call him up for telephone sex or he quickly dresses in female drag for real life sex.
There are now many ways in which we can switch gender, either through surgery, drugs or imagination. The stages of dressing as a man, injecting testosterone or having surgery to remove the breasts and create a penis offer three alternatives.
Jason (26) is a drag King who gets his kicks from dressing as a man. He has a number of different images - schoolboy, brother-in-law, country singer or pimp - sometimes humorous and at other times serious. He plays with his image and looks, altering it many times but enjoys the feel of being accepted as a man. He ties his chest up and "packs" his crutch to suggest a penis and balls using a variety of different appendages which give him a larger, longer or more naturalistic crutch.
Oscar (36) has changed from a butch dyke to fully-operated transgendered man. He has a deep voice and hairy chest covering his breast removal scars. His heavy frame is covered in tattoos but covers up the fact that 5 years ago he was a woman, so he walks around topless in the summer. His friends are mainly butch dykes and transgendered F to Més rather than other straight men.
Svar (34) has been taking testosterone injections over the last three years. He now sports sideboards and a moustache and despite his diminutive build passes as a young, elegant man wearing suits and ties. His work as a sculptor documents his changing gender and we look at how his work parallels this. He has invented his own latex device which enables him to piss through this fake member whilst standing up.
Drag queens and female transsexuals seem to be common place in the media, but few realise the various stages of becoming female and know little of their sex. Drag queens, dressing as women, pre-op transgendered females (with breasts) and fully operated (complete women) are three stages of this process.
Ivan (39) is a gay man who hosts hen nights in drag and is a male or female actor and performer. He has undergone oestrogen injections over a number of years and eventually breast surgery. Two years ago he decided that he no longer wanted to become a complete woman. Now he has had reversal hormone therapy and surgery and has reversed back to how he looked before, as a man. He decided that being a drag queen was as far as he wanted to go as a woman.
Marisa (37) is large, gregarious and buxom. She was a gay man who initially dragged up as a woman in order to have sex with men and soon became a prostitute. Now she is a fully operated woman and has a long-term relationship with Brian, a straight man who acts like a gay man. They generally frequent gay bars and clubs where they both feel comfortable with the company though technically they are a straight couple.
We will also talk to a transvestite - a straight man who feels compelled to dress as a woman, and a drag
queen - a gay man who dresses as a woman for fun. There are so many questions to ask. Why they decided to change sex? How they identify themselves? What differences they feel about themselves before and after? What people they are now attracted to? How their sex life has changed? What is their fantasy sex situation? What physical changes will happen in the future? How do they see societyés acceptance of them? Do they think they will ever be sexually fulfilled?
Digital Sex has been building towards a climax. In the last programme we intend to investigate how fa
r the human, scientific and technological world of sexual confusion may go. We go into the extreme world of body dysmorphia and auto-asphyxiation. We look at the edges of fetishism. John (28) can only reach orgasm after he has been fully bound in an elaborate web of ropes and left to hang for hours. Lee (34) will only cum if he is cramped.
We look at the outer realms of sexual practice that may become evolve to become mainstream. We feature people who have perfected sexual techniques to reach the epitome of pleasure. Annie (34) can manage a 5 minute non-stop orgasm by using advanced breathing techniques. Jo (30) can reach such levels of arousal that she can ejaculates (over 6 foot in length) - she explains how.
Digital Sex is packaged and presented to reflect the progressive thinking and cutting edge content of the series. The aesthetics and visual style suggest "an experimental future" and reflect the digital title of the series.
Simple stylistics will be evident throughout. Weéll use unified camera styles and interviewing techniques; graphics and captions that reflect the "futuristic" themes; and simple thematic post-production effects which link movement between performance and documentary sections.
The contents of each themed film will be a mix of:
Each programme will open with an upfront, sexy and provocative title sequence reflecting the contents, attitude, aesthetics and style of the series.
